TO GET A SCHOOL LIBRARY.
Something Which Teachers May DO.
what "A Schoo Once Accomplished.

oomething Which Teachers May DO.
what a school Once Accomplished.
President White, recently of Cornell
university, has contributed to The Forum
On account of his early education, in the
course of which he laments that he had
% little help in selecting books 10 read
when he was a boy. Many thousands of
bows and girls. nj this moment, need Just
such help. Books were never before so
abundant or SO cheap as they are now,
and children are bewildered by the mass
from which they are sometimes called to
select.
Others, again, have no access to good
books at all beyond those which they
study at school. Within a few miles Of
the metropolis of New England, there are
hundreds Of boys and girls who are good
scholars ut school. who can do all the
hard sums, and spell most OF the hard
words, and Vet have never so much as
seen the good and great books Of juvenile
literature; no, not even Robinson Crusoe
or the Swiss Family Robinson.
Do teachers know how easy il is TO
found a good and growing school library?
il will found itself if the teachers will
but take charge of the movement, and
keep all the power over il in their own
hands. \ teacher who pointed with
some pride 10 a nice collection of books
In n corner of her school room, all neatly
covered with brown paper, was asked,
'.How did you dc it?' She replied, in
substance:
First. we got "a little help from a good
natured carpenter in knocking together
some pine shelves, which he also showed
US how to stain "a rich brown color. Then
] myself bought four quires of brown
paper, and ask 4 the scholars 10 begin the
library by a gift of books.
1--WE all gave some books; the minister
gave some: some of the parents sent a
basketful: one liberal gentleman. hearing
Of our scheme, contributed s.; a lady
sen us 81; a paragraph in the local news
paper brought us forty-two volumes,
nearly all Of which were suitable 10 our
purpose. In a few days we had. after
rejecting several as not desirable for
young readers, 10 good, interesting, at
tractive volumes.
Il then said to the school. All NAV
take out books nee a week for reading
at home who pay ten cents per term OF
ten weeks for the increase Of the library.
Our success has been most signal. and
nothing has ever done so much to in
crease the children's interest in their
school as the school library
One cent a week from each pupil paws
the whole charge If maintaining and in
creasing this library, which. Of course.
remains the property Of the school. One
special advantage Of the plan is that the
teachers. and the teachers alone, decide
upon the suitableness Of the books, and
thus. as President White suggests. afford
20 the whole school that ''kindly dircc-
ton" in the choice Of their reading which
young people peculiarly need.-Iouth's

Isaac Smead, If Toledo, o.. has Just
patented a scheme for heating that
promises to h. revolutionary. Mr.. Smead
says that he can convert a thirty cent
barrel Of crude oil into rs much heat as is
derived ordinarily from six tons of btu
minous coal. The principle is simple. A
pan is to be constructed TO take the place
Of CRATE bars in an ordinary furnace, un-
der boilers and heating apparatus. In
this pan a small quantity of water is al
lowed to stand, the supply Of which is
maintained through a pipe, In the cen
ter Of the pan a small jet Of oil is fur
nished from a reservoir near by. The oil
spreads owe the surface Of the water and
is consumed as fast as desired. Air is
supplied from numerous oriiiccs in the
pan above the water and oil line. and
when oil and air are supplied in proper
quantities the heat becomes intense. and
far SURPRISES the hottest furnace fired
with coal or gas. The smallest quantity
of oil is required. Boston Transcript.

wacner's Manner Of Composing.

II is impossible TO speak with certainty
about Wagncr's manner Of composing.
He often laughed heartily when telling
about some composer, whom he had
visited, and found with a long pipe in
his mouth engaged in completing a
symphony, and who had compiacently
shown his coisposition, turning back
ward and forward among the pages and
CRYING out while designating certain pas
sages: Here there is quiet; now it
grows angry; now it is becoming dra-
matte; here l let loose a thunderbolt;
here WI begin the down grade, and nov
quiet again." the last word coming
through a cloud Of tobacco smoke. II IS
not necessary To say that Wagner could
never compose in this manner 4 glance
into his scores will disclose the exalted
seriousness with which he approached
his task and the superearthly regions in
which he scared when he created his
ideal characters. BY the time that he

them brought together at the coroner's.
In most cases where men who have sepa-
rated from their wives are killed in acct.

TO justify the bringing Of a damage suit.

American architecture has been charged
with want Of originality or invention. but
tins has been by persons who have not
understood the natural limits Of original
ity in architectural form. On the con-
trary. we have more originality than we
have known what to do with. and we
have expended il in a thousand vagaries.
What our architects have needed has not
been a spur 10 invention on a demand for
novelties. but some influence to check
their waywardness and hold them to one
manner Of design till their work acquired
consistence and the public got instruc-
ton. And here we lack a balance wheel
which most older nations have. The
want Of an old architecture by which the
taste Of the intelligent is insensibly
formed means the want of a very i'm
portant guiding influence w. y. p.

A very dramatic story about the Italian
exploits in their war with the Abyssinians
is told 10y the foreign papers. The Italian
soldiers fell where they stood in line Of
battle. At last twelve OF fifteen found
themselves u off from escape with all
their cartridge boxes empty. At the
word Of command they presented arms
to their dead comrades around them.
The next volley Of the Abyssinians
stretched them with the dead. Here lisa

Who caves a gentle mothers side,
Yet keeps, enshrined within his breast
Her words ~ warning-still the best;
And whispers when temptation tried:

Along life's weary, furrowed track,
And sees one lace-an angels now
Hears words IT light that led Alright,
And prays. with reyereutial brow:

WHAT HE DISCOVERED.

A handsomely dressed young
woman entered a crowded street
car. A long whiskered old fellow,
wearing a dingy SLOUGH hat and a
suit of homespun clothes, got up
and said:
"Miss, take my seat. l don't
look as we'll as these gentlemon"-
nodding at several men-"but I've
diskivered that I've got more po-
likeness"
The young woman sat down
without thanking the old fellow;
and, slyly winking at a woman
whom she knew whispered:
Glow do you like my gallant
country hoosier? Don't you think
that he would cut quite a figure in
a dime museum|
Miss" said the old fellow with
a smile which clearly bespoke his
Inconsistencies OF the unladylike
ridicule, u b'leve I left my pocket
book thar on that seat. Will you

The young woman got up. The
old fellow sat down, and stroking
his whiskers remarked:
"B'leve I'll jest keep on a settin'

LEPROsY IN THE UNITED STATES
AND EUROPE.

Two cases Of leprosy were re
ported in Philadelphia last week.
About the same time several cases
were reported in the hospitals OF
London, Glasgow and Dublin.
Leprosy rs now described as an
ineurable constitutional disease,
and medical authorities are gener-
ally agreed thatit is not contagious.
1t is to be remarked, however, that
the committee appointed by the
Royal College of Physicians to in
vestigate the cases in Great Bri-
tain reported that, while they did
not consider that there was any oc-
caslon for "a general leprosy scare,
still stringent measures should be
taken TO prevent the spread OF the
disease.
The two cases reported in Phila-
delphia originated in Brazil, in
which country leprosy is not un-
common; but the majority Of the
lepers who find their way to the
United States are from China, and
this fact is one of the strongest OBJ
jections urged against Chinese i'm
migration. Leprosy is among the
oldest as it is among the most ter
rible of the scourges that affict
mankind. 1t has been endemic in
the valley and delta of the Nile
from time immemorial, and was
probably broughtinto Palestine by
the Jews at the time of exodus.
Generally speaking, it is a disease
that is most at home among the
crowded and Pncleanly population
of the Orient; but in modern times
it has prevailed to greater or less
extent in all tropical countries, as
for instance, in Mauritius Isle de
Bourbon, Canaries and Azores
Central America, the West Indies
and Brazil. The old Greek wri
tiers always referred to it as a dis
ease of foreign origin, and the Ro-
man writer Pliny intimates that il
was brought into Europe by the re
turn of Pompey's army from Syria
1t first became epidemic in Yves
tern Europe at the time of the Cru
sades, and during the middle ages
it prevailed 20 a dreadful extent il
that quarter, attacking even the
members of royal families. Mod
ern sanitation and the improved
condition of the laboring classel
has at last made its appearance ex
cepiional in Great Britain and, in
deed, throughout the greater par
OF Europe, but it still fingers il
Norway and the Baltic prOvienees
on the Sicilian coasts and som,
parts of Spain and Portugal. Al
we have said It is incurable, though
recent medical science has fOunC
means to alleviate the suffering o
its victims. -Picayune.
